    I went to 330mm. At one point i was running machined stock rotor. Not sure what you meant by countersunk but my machine shop did a fine job for me. So it is possible.

    You only need to replace the bearing hub from a mk 3 Megane RS that is 5x114.3. An example from Rofag (https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-GENUINE-Renault-Sport-Megane-III-3-RS-250-265-275-front-hub-wheel-/201951534234?_mwBanner=1). You will need to machine your front rotor pcd as well. I am using a...

    I tried 8J and it destroys the natural handling of the car. 7.5J feels better imo. 8J aint gonna provide much benefit except for heavier wheels. I also kinda prefer 215/45/17 that completely flush with 17x7.5 +48. It will rub on 225 with that offset when on spirited driving. Real simple job...

    Dont waste time on 5x108. Change to Megane rs front hub and re-drill 5x114.3 for the rear rotor and you can run 5x114.3 all around. Tons of rim choices and easy for resale also.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Better late than never. Anyway i have already fixed the FD in. It is not day and night but commuting around town is so much better now with more low end torque and i reckon the car should come stock with this ratio.

    I did not need to code it. Just plug and play.

    Hi Rich. May I know if the FD is a direct fit?

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Hi Rich & company's, Good news. I am getting 2 boxes to mix the gear ratio and final drive but I have trouble trying to find the best ratio for acceleration. I am looking for aggressive gearing from 1-5 and cruising at 6. But not too sure if there is any advantage for being too close? I hope...

    Phenolic thermal manifold gasket......... ?

    I do not have anything to measure the volume. I treat it as a placebo effect.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Hi Rich, Thanks for the pointer. I have contacted Richard and hope he can get back to me soon. I am planning on just changing the 5th gear 38/39 from 003 with the 4.7FD for my 024. What is your view? I dont want my 1-3 to be too over aggressive. So i am keeping 1-4 bring 5 closer and keep...

    Alternatively you can consider redirecting ignition current to fuel pump. Save you lotsa trouble. I dont live in Europe. May I trouble you to source for a set of 4.7FD on my behalf?

    Yes my problem was solved by changing the UPC and the UPC dont come cheap. It is a very expensive component to replace which is not a common thing to fail. There was no water contamination spotted. [emoji849] Multi meter dont work because it is intermittent. You may want to swop the UPC with...

    Just seen these on Facebook top mounts

    Hi Tom. Did around 10000km. I removed the Compbrake top mount and replaced with stock. Like you mention, the rose joint was loose and the entire shock body is free to move up and down without the spring compressing. Thanks for the effort though. Just not wanting to risk replacing the rose joint...

    Phenolic thermal manifold gasket......... ?

    I manage to register a slightly lower intake temp from my obd reader. But nonetheless, treat it as just increasing plenum volume.

    Hi. Nope. No demand for it.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Hi Rich, just sharing my joy and hate of owning the clio. I had a similar issue with fueling. Changed fuel pump, change standalone ecu, change injectors and the problem lies with the UPC. Basically the UPC is providing inconsistent current to the fuel pump causing fuel pressure to go up and...

    Just seen these on Facebook top mounts

    Hi @tombate911 I wish to provide my feedback on the compbrake top mount that i purchased around half a year back base on your recommendation. Upon receiving the top mount. Both me and my mechanic finds the pillow joint to be kind of loose compare to top mounts from reputable brands...
